Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies We can't hear anything at all Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all her suicides are fake Daddy only stares into the distance There's only so much more that he can take Many miles away Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake Another industrial ugly morning The factory belches filth into the sky He walks unhindered through the picket lines today He doesn't think to wonder why The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street But all he ever thinks to do is watch And every single meeting with his so-called superior Is a humiliating kick in the crotch Many miles away Something crawls to the surface Of a dark Scottish lake Another working day has ended Only the rush hour hell to face Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes Contestants in a suicidal race Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance He knows that something somewhere has to break He sees the family home now looming in the headlights The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache Many miles away There's a shadow on the door Of a cottage on the shore Of a dark Scottish lake Many miles away, many miles away |

Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk for ever Walking on the moon We could live together Walking on, walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Feet they hardly touch the ground Walking on the moon My feet don't hardly make no sound Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away, no way And if it's the price I pay, some say Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay I may as well play Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk for ever Walking on the moon We could be together Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away no way And if it's the price I pay, some say Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay I may as well play |

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking She's so close now This girl is half his age Don't stand to close to me Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, whe's waiting His car is warm and dry Don't stand so close to me Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use He sees her He starts to shake he starts to cough Just like the old man in That famous book by Nabakov Don't stand so close to me |

How can you say that your not responsible
What does it have to do with me What is my reaction What should it be Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence is reduced To a shallow, meaningless party Seems that when some innocents die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cam'ras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Protest is futile Nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world Who knows what to do Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears |

There's a hole in my life There's a hole in my life Shadow in my heart Is tearing me apart Or maybe it's just something in my stars There's a hole in my life Be a happy man I try the best I can Or maybe I'm just looking for too much There's something missing from my life Cuts me open like a knife It leaves me vulnerable I have this disease I shake like an incurable God help me, please Oh, there's a hole in my life There's a hole in my life Yeah, yeah, yeah There's something missing from my life Cuts me open like a knife It leaves me vulnerable I have this disease I shake like an incurable God help me, please Oh, there's a hole in my life There's a hole in my life |

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold You lay there sleeping like an open doorway I stepped outside myself and felt so cold Take a look at my new toy It'll blow your head in two, oh boy Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone I thought about it and my dream was broken I clutch at images like dying breath And I don't want to make a fuss about it The only certain thing in life is death Take a look at my new toy It'll blow your head in two, oh boy Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Where you want to be, won't you ever see? Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Ah....now! |

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on |

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find They're only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no-one's jamming their transmission 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true |

I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an armalite I don't want to spend the rest of my days Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say I don't want to spend my time in hell Looking at the walls of a prison cell I don't ever want to play the part Of a statistic on a government chart There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done It's dark all day and it glows all night Factory smoke and acetylene light I face the day with my head caved in Looking like something that the cat brought in There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done And they're only gonna change this place By killing everyone in the human race And they would kill me for a cigarette But I dont even want to die just yet There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be and invisible sun It gives us hope when the whole day's done |

Fifty million years ago You walked upon the planet so Lord of all that you could see Just a little bit like me Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Hey Mr. Dinosaur You really couldn't ask for more You were God's favourite creature But you didn't have a future Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Hey mighty brontosaurus Don't you have a message for us You thought your rule would always last There were no lessons in your past You were built three storeys high They say you would not hurt a fly If we explode the atom bomb Would they say that we were dumb? Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps Fifty million years ago They walked upon the planet so They live in a museum It's the only place you'll see 'em Walking in your footsteps Walking in your footsteps They say the meek shall inherit the earth They say the meek shall inherit the earth Walking in your footsteps |

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday There's a black hat caught in a high tree top There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a little black spot on the sun today That's my soul up there It's the same old thing as yesterday That's my soul up there There's a black hat caught in a high tree top That's my soul up there There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop That's my soul up there I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall That's my soul up there There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall That's my soul up there There's a blue whale beached by the springtide's ebb That's my soul up there There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web That's my soul up there I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread King of pain There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack That's my soul up there There's a black winged gull with a broken back That's my soul up there There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain King of pain King of pain King of pain I'll always be king of pain |

Well, someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away You act as if you don't care You look as if you're going somewhere But I just can't convince myself I couldn't live with no one else And I can only play that part And sit and nurse my broken heart, so lonely So lonely, so lonely, so lonely Now no-one's knocked upon my door For a thousand years, or more All made up and nowhere to go Welcome to this one man show Just take a seat, they're always free No surprise, no mystery In this theatre that I call my soul I always play the starring role, so lonely So lonely, so lonely, so lonely So lonely, so lonely, so lonely I feel lonely, I'm so lonely, I feel so low So lonely, so lonely, so lonely |

I can't stand it for another day When you live so many miles away. Nothing here is gonna make me stay, (You) took me over, let me find a way. I sold my house I sold my motor, too. All I want is to be Next To You. I'd rob a bank Maybe steal a plane. You took me over, Think I'm goin' insane. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. I've had a thousand girls or maybe more, But I've never felt like this before. But I just don't know what's come over me, You took me over, take a look at me. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. All I want is to be next to you, All I want is to be next to you, All I want is to be next to you. So many times I used to give a sign Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind. When all it is is just a love affair. You took me over baby, take me there. What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you. All I want is to be next to you... |
